Hab. Hudson's Bay, Dr. Richardson ! — It strongly re- 

 sembles the form of C. crinita with very long cuspidate scales ; 

 but is quite distinct.

Hab. Unalaschka, Meyer ; Sitcha, Bongard! — This spe- 

 cies nearly resembles the preceding ; but the two are neverthe- 

 less distinct. The specimen from which Prof. Dewey drew 

 the description of his C. cryptocarpa approaches this species 

 in form of its scales, and in the somewhat shorter fertile spikes ; 

 but wholly accords with C. Sitchensis in the rough leaves and 

 culm, and in the fruit having a short but distinct beak ; whereas 

 C. cryptocarpa has perfectly smooth leaves and culms, and the 

 much broader fruit is somewhat acuminate, but not distinctly 

 beaked.
